There has been decided scarcity OF cents In the

The next thing was TO see what that concern
wanted Of pennies, for everybod knows that only
i've and ten-cent pieces are used in the envelopes

h0rse-railway office came next and solved the
problem. The company does not need pennies for

Its business-but 1t has demand for Thousands OF
pennies daily. Since the regular charge OF SO much
per mile went into effect on the railroads almost
every fare IL for an odd sum. The tcket-seller
scarcely sells ticket without needing pennies TO
MES but he gets few from the travellers, and must
have some source Of supply. This source ts the
agents send up some thirty fifty dollars of small
change, at least ten dollars OF which Is pennies.
or course the demand varies. but the Consolidated
and New England offices In this city average one
thousand pennies day. They are little par

John Hay and CIarcnc. King.

Washington Letter to the indianapolis journal.
Col. Hay has returned from Europe. and he Is
once more In his superb mansion on Lafayette
Park, trying to recover from a serious cold which
he caught while In New York. He and Mrs. Hay
spent the summer wholly In England, going from
one cathedral town TO another, and deliberately
enjoying IL. He looks not a day over forty, and
with his black shock Of hair and soft full beard
parted In the middle, he is decidedly a handsome
man. He weighs, I should think, 1876 pounds
more than his taller collaboration. Clarence King,
the geolOgist, was In town yesterday, and meeting
Hay at the club, they had friendly spat over the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT controversy.
"Stratford Is not once mentioned In all Shakes
peare's works." said King, triumphantly, "wh1le
SC. Adams, Bacons birthplace, Is mentioned more
than thirty times"
"Weli," said Hay. 81 have read The Survey Of
the Fortieth Parallel through with great care,
and 10 doesn't mention Brdtteboro, Vt, once"
"The survey OF the FOrtieth Parallel is King
great work, and Brattleboro his native town.

The raid had been contemplated for some time,
aud central Office detectives have been locating
The establishments since November %. They lad
deals at fourteen places IN ALL and had secured
other evidence which Will be used al the trial.
Although the matter had been Kept very quiet,
nine OF the fourteen places were found closed this
morning when the officers made their trip and II
Is probable they had received Information OF
The intended descent by the authorities

was sworn out by Detective MinZhOuser, under
orders from the district attorney and Director OF
